How to get used to not eating.

[SmallKoy]

Does anyone have any advice for getting used to not eating/not eating for long periods of time? Sorry if this is not an appropriate question. I would really appreciate some advice.

Is this regarding healthy fasting or we're talking ed here? Because the latter is miserable and I don't see why would anyone who can give you advice and is in the same boat would wish it to anyone else.....

I've recently completely lost my appetite. I still eat because it's an addiction. Once I taste food I just want more and something about chewing food when I'm bored... eating is so hardwired I just do it as a coping mechanism I guess. Would like to hear any answers people have on this.

It is miserable. I have experienced it. And yet, I wish it would get worse. Mental illness I guess.

I really relate to this. I'm always scared that when I take the first bite I wont be able to stop.

Yes of course you do. That's part of this hell. But would you wish it on anyone else tho?

Of course I wouldn't *wish* it on anybody else.

I can never tell if im actually hungry until the pain sets in. I drink water and think of getting something to eat but i keep forgetting and get distracted. Its a vicious cycle but i think its part of my undiagnosed adhd and some other underlying stuff.

Then you see why I think it's messed up to give advice. But it seems like I'm alone here to think that. So I wash my hands. Go nuts. Welcome to the bottom of hell

I think it's messed up too. I'm not happy with my own actions. I'm sorry. I'm desperate I guess.

I think it's an appropriate question. Just wish I could help. Maybe research fasting as one person mentioned? You might get information related to what you want.
